I agree . I've been considering the Omega Speedmaster for a while ,but I never warmed up to that watch . This Longines Big Eye has a funkiness and coolness assiciated with the unique design . Plus the performance of the movement is superb .
The dive watch was made for driving. an instrument if you may . The date complication is a later on addition when the asthetic of the dive watch turned into a watch design preference by non divers for many reasons well known to all . I prefer my dive watches without a date . It's a personal preference.
You should buy what makes you happy . I have big , medium, and small watches , each unique in its own way . If it puts a smile on your face , get it .
I wouldn't wear either . Both are trying too hard to flash money that you either have or don't in people's faces . Plus I don't think wearing gold is masculine . Also my religion doesn't allow men to put on gold jewelry.
